The Rush Job

First task of the year that we were given was a collaboration exercise between the animation students and at TV students, our task was to create a Christmas Advert for a made up company. The catch was that we had 4 days to put together a presentation and an anamatic for a 1 min advert. Our team worked very well, we met up every day to go over details of the script our writer had written and also to look over the storyboard in progress. A few changes were made over the days but we all worked well to fix and agree on things quickly. Due to only having 4 days, we were literally working till the last minute to get the anamatic ready for showing.

Our story was of a Fisherman at sea who is trying to find his way home, after surviving a horrible storm he reaches for his only picture of his daughter but sadly it gets blown out of his hand, but he suddenly sees a strange light in the distance, after following it he finds himself at a lighthouse in which he enters and try's to find out who turned on the light. When reaching the top he finds his daughter who has made a huge light out of many lamps (product from the company). She had done this to guide him home for Christmas.

Here is our anamatic after the 4 days, if I had more time I would of loved to add more shading and also looked more into the cinematography side of our shots to enhance the experience.
